A video processing method. A display region is provided according to a timeline, comprising at least one first sub-region with higher time resolution and one second sub-region with lower time resolution. A time scale value of the first sub-region is smaller than that of the second sub-region, and the first and second sub-regions have low-speed and medium-speed controls for scrolling forward and backward respectively. When a desired frame is located in the first sub-region, the low-speed or medium-speed control is scrolled to forward or backward on the timeline according to an operating command to locate the desired frame. When the desired frame is located in the second sub-region, the low-speed or medium-speed control is scrolled to forward or backward on the timeline according to an operating command to move the desired frame to the first sub-region.

6. The system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein when a desired frame is located in the first sub-region, the low-speed control is scrolled to forward or backward on the timeline according to an operating command to locate the desired frame.
7. The system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein when a desired frame is located in one of the second sub-region, the medium-speed control is scrolled to forward or backward on the timeline according to an operating command to move the desired frame to the first sub-region.
8. The system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the display region further comprises two third sub-regions, located respectively adjacent to the two second sub-regions.
9. The system as claimed in claim 8 , wherein a time scale value of each third sub-region is greater than that of the first sub-region or each second sub-region, and each third sub-region has a high-speed control with a corresponding location on the timeline for scrolling forward and backward.
10. The system as claimed in claim 9 , wherein when a desired frame is located in one third sub-region, the high-speed control is scrolled to forward or backward on the timeline according to an operating command to move the desired frame to the first or one second sub-region.
11. A storage medium for storing a computer program providing a method for automatic booting a computer system, comprising using a computer to perform the steps of: providing a display region according to a timeline, wherein the display region comprises at least one first sub-region and one second sub-region adjacent to the first sub-region, wherein the first and second sub-regions are arranged along the timeline, a time scale value of the first sub-region is smaller than that of the second sub-region, and the first sub-region has a low-speed control and second sub-region has a medium-speed controls with corresponding locations on the timeline for scrolling forward and backward respectively; providing video data comprising a plurality of frames, wherein the respective frames are displayed in the first sub-region or the second sub-region along the timeline; determining the location of a desired frame among the video data is in the first sub-region or the second sub-region; when the desired frame is located in the first sub-region, scrolling the low-speed control forward or backward on the timeline according to an operating command to move the video data based on the time scale value of the first sub-region, thereby moving the desired frame to a specific position; and when the desired frame is located in the second sub-region, scrolling the medium-speed control forward or backward on the timeline according to an operating command to move the video data based on the time scale value of the second sub-region, thereby moving the desired frame to the first sub-region, wherein when the desired frame enters the first sub-region, the desired frame is moved by scrolling the low-speed control forward or backward based on the time scale value of the first sub-region.
